De La Rosa on track on Friday

SPANIARD Pedro de la Rosa, who joined Prost Grand Prix as a test and reserve driver on Tuesday, will begin testing for the team on Friday at Estoril.

A spokesperson for the driver confirmed that he would be flying to Estoril on Thursday and will be on track in the AP04 the following day.

De la Rosa, who was dumped from Arrows on January 31 in favour of young Brazilian Enrique Bernoldi, preferred to go for a testing arrangement with the French team rather than a race deal with a lesser team.
